hey, might want to make sure he's all the way in the door before hitting him with it, samatar. lead by example,why dont you..
Kevin, grammatical butchery aside, you might have a bit more luck with getting comments if you re-phrase that. perhaps if you explain what kind of feed back you'd like, or if you have a specific reason for asking for it.
Hi,my name is Rob..ok, so I'm not the greatest at replies and comments. Sorry. For anyone needing to contact me, my email is back up in my profile. >> my cluttered mess of a gallery
To me, nothing...however, the tough part is: we can't really comment...actually we can...but anyways, i'll just give my 2 cents:
Just keep producing more work, looking at others, blah blah...you'll get better automatically from experience (well that's at least how it's supposed to work). Other than that, I don't know what more I could say. :-S Good luck. :)
Welcome Kevin.
I have looked at your gallery and you seem to have acquired quite a few comments already. In my experience the best and most enjoyable way to get more is give comments to others, the compliment is very often returned. While you are looking about for works you want to comment on you will also learn a lot.
Yes, what LynEve said. Comment on others' work and build relationships. this site lends itself to building personal relationships. Create a network of friends. You'll get your comments.
it's about reciprocity. quid pro quo. give and take. sharing. i'm sure your young mind is still struggling with these concepts, but take a moment and rethink your approach.
as for the sarcasm pointed at my typo, it smacks of an absence of civility on your part. poor upbringing i suppose.

Kevin, you could perhaps learn a bit more by perusing the Request for Comment forum and getting a few tips on how to request comments on your work. Its called Caedes schooling and it works very well. All new things take a bit of getting used to and I am sure you will get the hang of it in time.
Respect and politeness are first on the curriculum.
the 'mature' people need to 'speak their mind'. ;-)
...and now i'm asking for it. =P Btw, i was homeschooled from 4th-6th grade (b/c there wasnt an English-speaking school located in Jhirpu, Nepal) so my social skills are a bit off...
Home school/private school/public school... there is no difference in how manners are used.. i'm sure you were taught the correct way of asking for things.. such as please/thankyou and respect your elders.
Ah, true...but, since homeschool ppl dont talk to unfamilar people as much, they don't have as much social experience. They are used to informal language - what they use when talking to your mom or dad (for me at least). So....
....it's more of a misunderstanding in communication...it may have came out mean, but really that's not how it was meant intentionally.
phonetics & inflection is entirely diffrent to basic manners - so dont make excuses - off you trot and familiarise yourself with the code of conduct on posts whilst you're on your way
EVERYONE is expected to conform to the forums rules for behaviour - if anyone has a grievance they should use the complain features to alert moderators about it - failing that they should comply with the general good order required and, if they think they are unable to do so, then not bother posting at all. thats what I believe in.
As a representative of the so called 'elderly' (who should know better than to continue with this) may I remind you of the saying 'manners maketh the man' which may seem quaint and old fashioned to you, but is a very true saying. And I don't consider this a 'fight' ,more just a prod in the right direction and and expectation of a please and thankyou now and again - I expect that from my own children - and other people's as well.
BTW I have commented as demanded on one of your pictures. Perhaps when you have finished jumping up and down and defending yourself you may spend some time looking through a few galleries and doing the same. That's what the grown-ups do.
Man, I posted a comment at mid day and look where it's gone since then! Kevin, back to that networking thing I was talking about- is this easier? You're doing a real bang up job on making friends it seems too. Good luck on getting comments.
I am never going to meet any of you... I wouldn't want to make friends with some pompous jackass and people who think that just because they are older that they are the all knowing mature adults.
Who in their right mind would want friends like that?
I have pretty high standards... I have decent friends.
